As volunteers , we assembled individual care packages that included toiletries and food items for distribution . By helping with the assembly of these packages , individuals and families can easily receive the things they need through the drive through service provided without having to exit their vehicles .
Shinnah Haven , which means New Beginnings , is an organized homeless encampment . The camp has solar panels , showers , port-apotties , and waste removal . The Reentry Service staff made and distributed hygiene packages to include bottled water and toiletries .
